8. Linux has too many variations...
...to be easily targeted by viruses...yes, they are all "Linux" but each company has their own way of building the system...

Mancrake
Gentoo
Knoppix
Red Hat
Debian
Suse
Slackware
Lycoris
Xandros
Lindows

All Linux Distrobutions...that variety is why it's less vulnerable...

Windows systems are largely ALL THE SAME - thats why most virus target Windows...
